the republican party is not heavily excited about governor romney. the only way he'll have a chance at this, particularly when you look at swing state polls, is if he's able to peel off the moderates. that's going to be a very difficult act for him to pull off. >> one of the things people are asking for is specifics. paul ryan on bloomberg tv today, this morning, in fact, still doesn't add much clarity to the tax plan. watch this. >> obviously the numbers add up. we've shown that. let's work together to establish that framework. and it's not as much as what's in the tax code as who gets it. >> i mean, what does that mean? >> listen, i think that's -- it's -- you brought that question exactly as -- and his answer has been part of the problem with the entire campaign. i think they're still trying to come up with this idea of how exactly do we distinguish, how exactly do we come up with some different type of policy that makes you better off. and i think they have not been able to come up with a answer that seems at all cogent to the larger american pop

jon: what did governor romney accomplish in that debate? >> he became a credible alternative to the president. to beat a president, you have to basically have someone of significance. for months and months and months, this campaign has been battered by millions of dollars of commercials trying to portray romney for something he wasn't. he went in front of 60 million people, and they got to see he was a very sub stabilityive -- substantive man. jon: so did he undo the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of negative advertising that the president and his team have thrown his ways? >> people aren't going to look at those commercials in the remaining four or five weeks of this campaign and have believability. obviously, there's some things he'll come back at him, but he himself showed the stature, showed the ability to be on a major stage with the president of the united states and outdebate him and look presidential. jon: but a lot of republicans said this election was slipping away, that he had to have a solid performance on wednesday night
